Don't Swipe Right

Product Information

I loved the writing style and how it was like you were one of Gwen’s friends who she is telling the story to - very easy to read.

After a curious incident with one potential date via the app, he sends her a cryptic message about a dead jogger. stars because I did predict the killer towards the end - though to the authors credit (who to my surprise is a guy 👏 🙌🏻) I did go back and forth on a few assumptions so he had me guessing for a while. This is a very good blend of perfect pitched humour with a very twisty, suspenseful mystery and police investigation. You do kind of have to suspend disbelief when it comes to the big reveal because it's not exactly the most plausible sequence of events, but it's still tremendously entertaining. The characterisation is very good, I really like Gwen, she’s a quip a minute but with pluck, bravery and gumption, well, some of the time!

Chilton has been a journalist for 15 years, working for TV shows like This Morning, The One Show and Loose Women, as well as magazines and newspapers such as The Times, The Mirror, Metro, New! He lives in London, thinking of twists for murder mysteries while practising the banjo, much to the annoyance of his neighbours. Comedic thrillers can be hard to pull off because most of the time they start of super funny and punchy but lose steam as they go along. But when a string of murders suddenly occurs in her small coastal English city, she’s shocked by the connection between each of the victims—they’ve all been on a date with her.

If you're looking for a modern murder mystery with some great dark humour and a female main character that you can get behind, this is it. I won't say that Gwen will be everyone's cup of tea, but think of her as a grittier Finlay Donovan or like the FMC of any Lindsey Kelk book. The entire situation is quite boring for Gwen, until the men she met on the app start getting murdered. I just only have it 4 stars as Gwen did give me pick me vibes every once in a while and it made me cringe.It’s fast paced and even the backtracking doesn’t halt the momentum and serves to give us further information. It is a delightful blend of humour and thrills that can be appreciated by readers of all preferences. A twisty, fast-paced and darkly hilarious modern murder mystery set in the terrifying and mystifying world of online dating , Don't Swipe Right is perfect for fans of Bella Mackie's How To Kill Your Family and Netflix's You. I absolutely loved Gwen’s Character, she’s quite savvy and I really enjoyed her witty one liners, she had a fantastic sense of humour, sometimes it was quite dark, which is very me, so I did find her very funny. Along with too much cheap wine and bad reality TV, Gwen turns to a dating app to help fill the void in her life.
